Medical Lake council moves ahead with budget

Maybe it was the tug-o-war and preparation for the upcoming Thanksgiving holiday. Or, perhaps, the fact that the front door of City Hall remained inadvertently locked?

Or it could be that having had the opportunity Nov. 6 for input on the city’s expectation to spend $3.394 million in 2019, compared to $3.255 million in 2018 — approximately a $140,000 increase in the new budget — there were no further concerns.

Whatever the reason, the council chambers were noticeably absent of the public at the Nov. 20 Medical Lake City Council meeting where final input was scheduled to be heard.
